Subtitle C—General Service Authorities SEC. 521. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE UNIQUE NATURE, DEMANDS, AND HARDSHIPS OF MILITARY SERVICE. It is the sense of Congress that— (1) section 8 (clauses 12, 13, and 14) of Article I of the Constitution of the United States commits exclusively to Con- gress the powers to raise and support armies, provide and maintain a Navy, and make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces; (2) there is no constitutional right to serve in the Armed Forces; (3) pursuant to the powers conferred by section 8 of article I of the Constitution of the United States, it lies within the discretion of the Congress to establish qualifications for and conditions of service in the Armed Forces; (4) the primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise; (5) the conduct of military operations requires members of the Armed Forces to make extraordinary sacrifices, including the ultimate sacrifice, in order to provide for the common defense; H. R. 1540—102 (6) success in combat requires military units that are characterized by high morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion; (7) one of the most critical elements in combat capability is unit cohesion, that is, the bonds of trust among individual members of the Armed Forces that make the combat effective- ness of a military unit greater than the sum of the combat effectiveness of individual unit members; (8) military life is fundamentally different from civilian life in that— (A) the extraordinary responsibilities of the Armed Forces, the unique conditions of military service, and the critical role of unit cohesion require that the military community, while subject to civilian control, exist as a specialized society; and (B) the military society is characterized by its own laws, rules, customs, and traditions, including numerous restrictions on personal behavior, that would not be accept- able in civilian society; (9) the standards of conduct for members of the Armed Forces regulate a member’s life for 24 hours each day beginning at the moment the member enters military status and not ending until that person is discharged or otherwise separated from the Armed Forces; (10) those standards of conduct, including the Uniform Code of Military Justice, apply to a member of the Armed Forces at all times that the member has a military status, whether the member is on base or off base, and whether the member is on duty or off duty; (11) the pervasive application of the standards of conduct is necessary because members of the Armed Forces must be ready at all times for worldwide deployment to a combat environment; (12) the worldwide deployment of United States military forces, the international responsibilities of the United States, and the potential for involvement of the Armed Forces in actual combat routinely make it necessary for members of the Armed Forces involuntarily to accept living conditions and working conditions that are often spartan, primitive, and characterized by forced intimacy with little or no privacy; and (13) the Armed Forces must maintain personnel policies that are intended to recruit and retain only those persons whose presence in the Armed Forces serves the needs of the Armed Forces, contributes to the accomplishment of the mis- sions of the Armed Forces, and maintains the high standards of the Armed Forces for morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability.

(c) DEFINITIONS.—Such section is further amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: ‘‘(f) OTHER DEFINITIONS.—In this section: ‘‘(1)(A) Subject to subparagraph (B), the term ‘dwell time’ means the time a member of the armed forces or a unit spends at the permanent duty station or home port after returning from a deployment. ‘‘(B) The Secretary of Defense may modify the definition of dwell time specified in subparagraph (A). If the Secretary establishes a different definition of such term, the Secretary shall transmit the new definition to Congress. ‘‘(2) The term ‘operating tempo’ means the rate at which units of the armed forces are involved in all military activities, including contingency operations, exercises, and training deployments. H. R. 1540—104 ‘‘(3) The term ‘personnel tempo’ means the amount of time members of the armed forces are engaged in their official duties at a location or under circumstances that make it infeasible for a member to spend off-duty time in the housing in which the member resides.’’. (d) CLERICAL AMENDMENTS.— (1) SECTION HEADING.—The heading of section 991 of such title is amended to read as follows: ‘‘§ 991. Management of deployments of members and measurement and data collection of unit operating and personnel tempo’’. (2) TABLE OF SECTIONS.—The table of sections at the begin- ning of chapter 50 of such title is amended by striking the item relating to section 991 and inserting the following new item: ‘‘991.

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: (1) On November 21, 2011, the Secretary of the Treasury issued a finding under section 5318A of title 31, United States Code, that identified Iran as a jurisdiction of primary money laundering concern. (2) In that finding, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Net- work of the Department of the Treasury wrote, ‘‘The Central Bank of Iran, which regulates Iranian banks, has assisted designated Iranian banks by transferring billions of dollars to these banks in 2011. In mid-2011, the CBI transferred sev- eral billion dollars to designated banks, including Saderat, Mellat, EDBI and Melli, through a variety of payment schemes. In making these transfers, the CBI attempted to evade sanc- tions by minimizing the direct involvement of large inter- national banks with both CBI and designated Iranian banks.’’. (3) On November 22, 2011, the Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, David Cohen, wrote, ‘‘Treasury is calling out the entire Iranian banking sector, including the Central Bank of Iran, as posing terrorist financing, proliferation financing, and money laun- dering risks for the global financial system.’’. (b) DESIGNATION OF FINANCIAL SECTOR OF IRAN AS OF PRIMARY MONEY LAUNDERING CONCERN.—The financial sector of Iran, including the Central Bank of Iran, is designated as a primary money laundering concern for purposes of section 5318A of title 31, United States Code, because of the threat to government and financial institutions resulting from the illicit activities of the Government of Iran, including its pursuit of nuclear weapons, sup- port for international terrorism, and efforts to deceive responsible financial institutions and evade sanctions.

(C) APPLICATION OF SANCTIONS.—Except as provided in subparagraph (D), sanctions imposed under paragraph (1)(A) shall apply with respect to a financial transaction conducted or facilitated by a foreign financial institution on or after the date that is 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act for the purchase of petroleum or petroleum products from Iran if the President deter- mines pursuant to subparagraph (B) that there is a suffi- cient supply of petroleum and petroleum products from countries other than Iran to permit a significant reduction in the volume of petroleum and petroleum products pur- chased from Iran by or through foreign financial institu- tions.
